"safari"

Always there

soft shoulder to cry on

glassy eyes sympathetic

understanding me

I wish I could see

as you see

a fuzzy imagination

playfuly lazing about

with the other lions

antelopes all around

Innocent and young

with vision so clear

and when I talk to you

I once again see through your eyes

to the hidden things

we grow out of

You watch me sleep

keeping dreams away

keeping age away

keeping my eyes clear

of the obstructions

of life

For as long as

I can talk to you

Believe in you

Know you are as alive as I

I can still see—

Thank you Safari
